THE LOCKDOWN IS OVER AND WE NOW NEED DELIVERANCE FROM SITTING AT HOME AND WAITING FOR THE LIVESTREAM BROADCAST
WELL BRETHREN IT IS TIME TO COME BACK TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD AND PRAISE HIM IN LIFE FELLOWSHIP WITH THE BRETHREN
PSALM 150 WHERE?
Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary;Praise Him in His mighty heavens.2
TESTIMONIES?
Praise Him for His mighty acts;3.Praise Him according to [the abundance of] His greatness.· Praise Him with trumpet sound;Praise Him with harp and lyre.4
WE HAVE THESE QUITAR
Praise Him with tambourine and dancing;Praise Him with stringed instruments and
DRUMS DRUMS BRASS
flute.5 Praise Him with resounding cymbals;Praise Him with loud cymbals.6
Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the Lord!
COME BACK TO THE HOUSE OF GOD TO PRAISE HIM SAYS THE WORD OF GOD
SONG : PRAISE THE LORD ,PRAISE HIM IN HIS SANCTUARY PRAISE HIM
PSALM 122
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.Jerusalem is built as a city that is united together, whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, according to the testimony of Israel to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “They shall prosper that love thee.7 Peace be within thy walls and prosperity within thy palaces.”For my brethren and companions’ sakes I will now say, “Peace be within thee.” Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek thy good.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT COMING TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD? ARE YOU GLAD,SAD OR EVEN INDIFFERENT?
WHY ARE YOUR FEET NOT HERE AT THE GATES OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRST?
WHY ARE THE ANGELS LOOKING FOR YOU?
THERE IS POWER IN UNITED WORSHIP AND THANKSGIVING
DO YOUEVEN REALISE THAT IF YOU LOVE GOD’S HOUSE YOU WILL ENJOY A GREAT PROSPERITY?
DAVID SAYS I WAS GLAD WHEN THEY SAY LET US GO INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD
WELL HOW EXCITED ARE WE TO NOW COME BACK TO CHURCH PHYSICALLY?
THE WORD JERUSALEM IN PSALM 22 STANDS FOR THE HOUSE OF GOD
DAVID SAYS IT IS WHERE THE PEOPLE FAITHFULLY GO TO TESTIFY OF GOD’S GOODNESS AND TO GIVE HIM THANKS
HE ALSO SAYS THAT THOSE WHO LOVE THE HOUSE OF THE LORD AND PRAYERFULLY SEEK HER GOOD SHALL PROSPER
IT IS ALSO A PLACE TO INTERACT WITH THE BRETHREN IN UNITY
PSALM 133:1-3 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2: It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3: As the dew of Hermon and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.”
GOD’S HOUSE IS WHERE WE SEEK EACH OTHER’S GOOD HEBREWS 10:24 SAYS “And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:”
THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT NOW THAT THE DAY OF THE LORD OR THE COMING OF THE LORD IS APPROACHING
HEBREWS 10: 25 SAYS THAT WE ARE” Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
WE ARE CLEARLY INSTRUCTED NOT TO FORSAKE THE COMING TOGETHER OF ONE ANOTHER.
THIS MEANS THAT IF WE ARE COMMITTED TO FELLOWSHIPPING TOGETHER WE ARE LIKELY TO ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE
WE ARE MOST LIKELY TO ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER TO DO GOOD WORKS FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD
THE DANGER OF GETTING USED TO ONLINE FELLOWSHIP IS THAT YOU CAN BECOME ISOLATED IN MANY WAYS
BECAUSE YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN, IN YOUR OWN WORLD AND YOU MAY END UP BEING A SPECTATOR OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE CHURCH SERVICE
YOU WILL SIT IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR CHAIR OR SIMPLY LIE DOWN IN YOUR BLANKET JUST WATCHING A MOVIE AND HARDLY PARTICIPATING OR EVEN EVER PRAYING
UNLESS YOU ARE VERY VERY DETERMINED TO CONSECRATE ON THE MESSAGE YOU ARE WATCHING
UNLESS YOU ARE A VERY MATURE AND FOCUSSED BELIEVER YOU WILL SURELY NOT CONSENTRATE AND BENEFIT MUCH FROM THE SERVICE
YOU MAY PRAY A LITTLE OR NOT EVEN PRAY AT ALL AND YOU MAY BE DIVERTED OR SIMPLY FALL ASLEEP
REMEMBER IT IS WRITTEN WHERE TWO OR THREE ARE GATHERED IN MY NAME THERE AM I IN THE MIDST OF THEM.SAYS THE LORD
MATT 18:19-20
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
STOP BEING ALONE IN YOUR ROOM INFRONT OF YOUR TELEVISION COME AND AGREE WITH US IN FELLOWSHIP AND IN PRAYERS IN OUR FATHER’S HOUSE
SONG :COME LET US WORSHIP AND BOW DOWN
Psalms:95:6: O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
Psalms:95:7: For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
Psalms:95:8: Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
Psalms:95:9: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
Psalms:95:10: Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
Psalms:95:11: Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
THIS UNITY OF WORSHIP AND PURPOSE WAS THE SECRET OF THE POWER OF THE APOSTLES
ACTS 1:12-14 “Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.13: And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. 14: These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
AS THEY CONTINUED IN PRAYERS IN ONE ACCORD THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME MIGHTLY ON THEM
ACTS 2:1-4 “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.2: And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3: And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4: And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
THE BIBLE SAYS WE MUST BE OF THE SAME MIND
1COR 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
WE MUST NOT BE DIVIDED IN FELLOWSHIP
PHLLIP:2:1-2 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
Ph’p:2:2: Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
AND THIS COMMITMENT TO ONENESS AND UNITY BY THE APOSTLES WAS THE BEGINNING OF A GREAT REVIVAL THAT HELPED TO ESTABLISH THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST
ACTS 2 :41-47 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.42 ¶ And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
UNLESS WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE NO CHOICE AS IN THE CASE OF TOTAL A LOCKDOWN, WE MUST BE TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE FOR WORSHIP
IF YOU CHOOSE TO STICK TO ONLINE PROGRAMS YOU MAY BECOME EXTREMELY DIVERTED AND TOTALLY SIDE TRACKED
YOU MAY BECOME VERY LUKEWARM OOR EVEN BACKSLIDE BY JUST STICKING TO LIFE STREAMED T.V. SERVICES
INSTEAD OF TAKING TIME TO CRITICALLY LISTEN TO GOD’S WORD AND PRAYERFULLY APPLYING IT TO YOUR LIVES,YOU MAY BECOME A SPECTATOR
YOU MAY BECOME A COLD OR LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN OR WORSE STILL A BACKSLIDER
AND I DON’T SAY THAT TO BE MEAN OR WICKED BUT TO SINCERELY WARN YOU OF THE DANGERS OF MODERN DAY TECHNOLOGY TO YOUR CHRISTIAN LIFE
CERTAINLY, THE ONLINE SERVICES CAME IN HANDY DURING THE LOCKDOWN PERIOD
AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO GOD THAT WE COULD REACH AND ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER THROUGH THE MEDIA
BASICALLY ALL ONLINE SERVICES, LIVE OR OTHERWISE ARE AT BEST JUST VERY GOOD FOR RECORD PURPOSES.
AS SUCH, WE CAN ALWAYS HAVE ACCESS TO THEM FOR FUTURE REFRENCES
ONLINE SERVICES ARE ALSO VERY NEEDED BY ALL CLMI LEADERS AND MEMBERS WHO ARE IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF NAMIBIA AND ALL OVER THE WORLD.
AND WHO MUST HAVE ACCESS TO THE BISHOP’S MESSAGES
MANY OF OUR BRETHREN AND LEADERS ARE LIVING ALL OVER NAMIBIA OR OVERSEAS AND ARE FAR FROM THE HEADQUARTER CHURCH IN WINDHOEK
HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE IN WINDHOEK ,KINDLY KNOW THAT THE LOCKDOWN IS OVER
KINDLY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE NOW EXPECTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES TO COME BACK PHYSICALLY TO FELLOWSHIP IN THE HOUSE OF GOD
WE NEED TO OPERATE TOGETHER IN UNITY FOR OUR CORPORATE BLESSINGS AND BREAKTHROUGHS
THE ETHIOPIAN EUNUCH WOULD TRAVEL FROM ETHIOPIA TO JERUSALEM UNDER VERY DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES JUST TO GO AND FELLOWSHIP WITH THE BRETHREN
IF YOU JUST LIVE SOMEWHERE IN WINDHOEK OR EVEN OKAHANDJA OR REHOBOTH THEN WINDHOEK NORTH IS NOT TOO FAR AS THE PLACE WHERE GOD HAS CHOSEN FOR YOU TO MEET WITH HIM
ONE SISTER USED TO DRIVE DOWN FROM WALVIS BAY EVERY WEEK END IN 1995 JUST TO COME AND FELLOWSHIP WITH US HERE IN WINDHOEK
IT WAS ACTUALLY BECAUSE OF HER THAT WE HAD TO PUT A BRANCH IN W/BAY
WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT HIS PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER TO FELLOWSHIP AT HIS HOUSE
DEUTERONOMY 12:11-14
Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:12 And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:14 But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
LET US STOP GOING AGAINST THE WORD OF GOD IN REBELLION OR IGNORANCE OR BOTH
LET US STOP THINKING THAT GOD IS PLEASED TO SEE US JUST WATCHING T.V. EVERY SUNDAY JUST IN THE COMFORT OF OUR HOMES
MANY DON’T EVEN WATCH THE LIFE STREAM. IT IS EITHER THEY ARE TOO BUSY OR HAVE NO DATA OR ARE SLEEPING ON A SUNDAY MORNING NO THIS IS NOT ALRIGHT AT ALL. LET US LOOK AT SOME OF THE GREAT BENEFITS OF SCARIFICING TO COME TO GOD’S HOUSE
ISA:58:11-14 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.Isa:58:12: And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Isa:58:13: If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:Isa:58:14: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
THERE IS A PLACE WITH AN ALTAR THAT IS DEDICATED TO GOD WHERE HE WANTS US ALL TO COME AND MEET WITH HIM
LOOK AT DEUT.12: 5 -8:
But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:7 And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.8 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
THE ALTAR OF GOD IS A PLACE OF SPIRITUAL TRAFFIC BETWEEN YOU AND HEAVEN
IT IS A PLACE OF SERIOUS SPIRITUAL NEGOTIATIONS AND SUCCESSFUL TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN YOU AND HEAVEN
THAT ALTAR AT THAT DESIGNATED PLACE IS FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS, CLEANSING AND BLESSING
1 JOHN 1: 5-8 “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6: If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
NOT ONLY WILL YOU BE CLEANSED, YOUR PRAYERS WILL BE HEARD AND ANSWERED
REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN GOD AND ANNA AT THE ALTAR IN SHILO?
1 SAMUEL 1:9-13.
And Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk; (now Eli the priest sat upon the seat by the door-post of the temple of Jehovah;) and she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Jehovah, and wept much. And she vowed a vow, and said, O Jehovah of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man child, then I will give him to Jehovah all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head. And it came to pass as she continued praying before Jehovah, that Eli marked her mouth. Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard; and Eli thought she was drunken.
WELL GOD ANSWERED HER PRAYER, BECAUSE SHE WENT ALONE TO THE ALTAR AND STRUCK A DEAL WITH GOD
SHE ENTERED INTO A PRIVATE CONVERSATION AND MADE A PROFITABLE TRANSACTION WITH GOD AT THE ALTAR OF GOD ALMIGHTY
SHE FULFILLED HER PROMISE BY BRINGING AN UNDER AGE CHILD BACK TO GOD’S ALTAR FOR GOD’S WORK
AND GOD REWARDED HER WITH THREE MORE SONS ANDTWO DAUGHTERS
VERSE 24-28
And she took him up with her when she had weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a flask of wine, and brought him to the house of Jehovah to Shiloh; and the boy was young. And they slaughtered the bullock, and brought the boy to Eli. And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here to pray to Jehovah. For this boy I prayed; and Jehovah has granted me my petition which I asked of him. And also I have lent him to Jehovah: all the days that he lives, he is lent to Jehovah. And he worshipped Jehovah there.
NOW LET US HEAR THE LORD’S WORDS ABOUT THE TEMPLE AND THE ALTAR
LET US LISTEN TO THE LORD JESUS HIMSELF:
MATT 23: 16-22:
Woe to you, blind guides, who say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor. Fools and blind, for which is greater, the gold, or the temple which sanctifies the gold? And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor. Fools and blind ones, for which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift?2 He therefore that swears by the altar swears by it and by all things that are upon it. And he that swears by the temple swears by it and by him that dwells in it. And he that swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him that sits upon it.23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye pay tithes of mint and anise and cummin, and ye have left aside the weightier matters of the law, judgment and mercy and faith: these ye ought to have done and not have left those aside.
THE FIRST THING TO UNDERSTAND IN THE ABOVE SCRIPTURE IS THAT JESUS SAYS BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE MATTERS OF JUSTICE ,MERCY AND FAITH,BUT YOU MUST ALSO GIVE YOUR TITHES
I DIVERTED A LITTLE BECAUSE JUST WANT YOU TO CLEARLY SEE HERE THE ISSUE OF TITHNG FROM THE LORD’S PERSPECTIVE
NOW HE SAYS THAT THE TEMPLE AND THE ALTAR SANCTIFY YOU AND YOUR GIFT
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ACTUALLY COMPARES THE TEMPLE AND THE ALTAR TO THE THRONE OF GOD AND GOD HIMSELF
HE SAYS HE THAT SWEARS BY THE ALTAR SWEARS BY IT AND HIM THAT DWELLS IN IT. MATT 23: 22-23
BY SAYING THAT HE IMPLIES THAT GOD DWELLS IN HIS HOUSE
PSALM 132:13-16 “For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.14: This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 15: I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. 16: I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 17: There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.18: His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.”
IT MEANS THAT WHEN YOU PHYSICALLY SHOW UP IN THE HOUSE OF GOD YOU ARE WASHED,CLEANSED,HEALED,BLESSED,DELIVERED BY THE TEMPLE AND THE ALTAR BECAUSE OF GOD’S DIVINE PRESENCE THERE.
THAT REVELATION IS SO POWERFUL THAT NONE OF US SHOULD MISS IT
1 JOHN 1:9 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.
MEANING THAT THE MOMENT WE ENTER INTO ANY CHURCH BUILDING THAT HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO GOD FOR HIS WORSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP WITH FELLOW BELIEVERS , THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST BEGINS TO FLOW INTO US FOR ALL OUR NEEDS
ANGELS ARE STRATEGICALLY POSITIONED IN GOD’S HOUSE AND ON THE ALTAR TO BRING US SALVATION, DELIVERANCE,HEALING AND ALL KINDS OF BLESSINGS
RIGHT NOW THERE ARE ANGELS HERE THAT ARE ARMED WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST TO POUR ON EVERYONE OF US FROM THE ALTAR TO THE PEWS FOR ALL OUR NEEDS
IF THAT IS TRUE ,THEN WHERE IS EVERY FAITHFUL SERVANT OF GOD THAT HAS A SPECIFIC PERSONAL NEED TODAY?
WHERE IS EVERYONE THAT HAS A SPECIFIC PERSONAL NEED BUT WHO MUST FIRST MINISTER TO THE LORD IN SONG, AS A SONG LEADER?
WHERE IS EVERYONE THAT HAS A SPECIFIC PERSONAL NEED BUT WHO MUST FIRST MINISTER TO THE LORD TODAY AS AN URCHER?
WHERE IS EVERYONE THAT HAS A SPECIFIC PERSONAL NEED BUT WHO MUST FIRST MINISTER TO THE LORD TODAY AS A SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER?
WHERE IS EVERYONE THAT HAS A SPECIFIC PERSONAL NEED BUT WHO MUST FIRST MINISTER TO THE LORD TODAY TO COUNT AND RECORD THE TITHES AND OFFERINGS ETC?
REMEMBER ZECAHRIAH? HE WAS JUST PERFORMING HIS DUTY IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD WHEN AN ANGEL SUDDENLY APPEARED TO HIM WITH A LONG AWAITED ANSWER TO HIS PRAYERS
THE ANGEL CAME TO BRING HIM HIS LONG AWAITED MIRACLE THAT HAD JUST BEEN RELEASED FROM HEAVEN
LUKE 1:5-13
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abia, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth. And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years. And it came to pass, as he fulfilled his priestly service before God in the order of his course,9 it fell to him by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.And all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense. And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the altar of incense. And Zacharias was troubled, seeing him, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy supplication has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
THE WORD OF GOD SAYS IT WAS HIS TURN TO BE ON DUTY AND BURN INCENSE IN GOD’S HOUSE ON THAT BLESSED DAY
WOW!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR ZECHARIAH TO HAVE COME TO GOD’S HOUSE JUST TO OBEY GOD AND JUST TO PERFORM HIS DUTY
DO YOU KNOW HE COULD HAVE BEEN DISCOURAGED BY ONE THING OR THE OTHER?
DO YOU KNOW THAT HE SIMPLY COULD HAVE BEEN DECEIVED BY SATAN AND COULD HAVE STAYED AWAY FROM CHURCH THAT DAY?
HE HAD ALL THE REASONS TO BE DEPRESSED AND DISCOURAGED
BECAUSE HIMSELF AND HIS WIFE HAD SERVED GOD FAITHFULLY IN ALL HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR YEARS AND YET THEY HAD NO FRUIT OF THE WOMB
BELIEVE ME THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH EXCUSE TO BE ABSENT FROM THE TEMPLE DUTY ON THAT DAY
HIMSELF AND HIS WIFE HAD PRAYED AND HAD BOTH GIVEN UP ON THAT ISSUE,THAT WAS WHY HE ARGUED WITH THE ANGEL
GOD GAVE THEM THE SURPRISE OF THEIR LIVES IN THEIR OLD AGE ON THAT BEAUTIFUL DAY
DAVID OBSERVES THAT IF YOU ARE FAIHFULLY PLANTED IN GOD’S HOUSE ,YOU WILL STILL BE FRUITFUL IN YOUR OLD AGE
PSALM 92:13-15 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;15 To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
WELL YOUR JOY IS ALSO COMING SUDDENLY AS A SURPRISE TO YOU IN THE MORNING,DON’T GIVE UP NOW
JUST BE FAITHFUL TO ALL YOUR DUTIES IN GOD’S HOUSE AND GOD WILL SURELY REWARD YOU WITH YOUR DESIRED MIRACLE
PSALM 132:1-10
1 ¶ . LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:
2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
10 For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
DAVID MADE A VOW TO SEE TO IT THAT THE HOUSE OF GOD RADIATES THE GLORY AND THE PRESENCE OF GOD THROUGH HIS FAITHFULNESS IN THE CHOIR
HE SAYS THE SERVANTS OF GOD MUST BE CLOTHED IN RIGHTEOUNESS AND THAT GOD’S CHILDREN SHOULD SHOUT FOR JOY
MAYBE HE ALSO MADE GREAT CHOIR GOWNS FOR THE CHOIR APART FROM PLAYING ALL THOSE INSTRUMENTS
HE SAYS HE WOULD NOT REST UNTIL GOD IS COMFORTABLE TO ESTABLISH HIS PRESENCE IN HIS HOUSE
AND THE LORD ALSO RESPONDED TO DAVID AS FOLLOWS:
PSALM 132:11-17
11 ¶ The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
GOD ACTUALLY REWARDS ALL THE SCARIFICES MADE BY HIS SEVANTS FOR HIS HOUSE TO RUN SMOOTHLY BY ALSO COVENANTING HIMSELF TO THEIR HOMES
Eze:44:30: And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest’s: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
HE PROMISES A REWARD OF CONSTANT OPEN HEAVENS OVER OUR FINANCES IF WE TITHE FAITHFULLY TO HIS HOUSE
MALACHI 3:10-12
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
NOT ONLY WILL GOD OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND POUR OUT A BLESSING ON ALL WHO SUPPORT HIS HOUSE,HE WILL ALSO REBUKE THE DEVOURERS FOR OUR SAKES
HE ALSO RESERVES A SPECIAL PLACE FOR US IN HIS HEART.
HE SAYS THAT WHEN HE COMES BACK, HE WILL NUMBER THEM AS HIS JEWELS MALACHI 3:16-18 “Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.17: And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.18: Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.”
JESUS SAYS BE FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH,YOUR ANSWERS ARE ON THE WAY.PRAISE GOD
DAVID ALSO SAYS THAT HE SO MUCH LOVES THE HOUSE OF GOD THAT HIS HEART IS ALWAYS LONGING FOR GOD’S HOUSE
HE SAYS THOSE WHO COME REGULARLY TO GOD’S HOUSE GO FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH AS THEY APPEAR BEFORE GOD IN ZION
HE SAYS HE WOULD RATHER BE A DOORKEEPER IN THE HOUSE OF GOD THAN DWELL IN THE TENTS OF WICKEDNESS
AND THAT GOD WILL BE THE GUIDE AND THE PROTECTION OF THOSE WHO CONSTANTLY GO TO HIS HOUSE
HE WILL NEVER WITHHOLD ANY GOOD THING FROM THEM
PSALM 84:1-2.6-12
How lovely are Your dwelling places,O Lord of hosts!2 My soul (my life, my inner self) longs for and greatly desires the courts of the Lord;My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.7They go from strength to strength [increasing in victorious power];Each of them appears before God in Zion.· O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;Listen, O God of Jacob! Selah.9See our shield, O God,And look at the face of Your anointed [the king as Your representative].10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else];I would rather stand [as a doorkeeper] at the threshold of the house of my GodThan to live [at ease] in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield;The Lord bestows grace and favor and honor;
No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.12 O Lord of hosts,
How blessed and greatly favored is the man who trusts in You [believing in You, relying on You, and committing himself to You with confident hope and expectation
WHAT VALUE DO YOU AND I PLACE ON GOD’S HOUSE TODAY?
SOLOMON FIRST BUILT THE HOUSE OF GOD BEFORE BUILDING HIS OWN HOUSE AND STRUCK A SERIOUS COVENANT BLESSING WITH GOD
NEHEMIAH TOOK GREAT CARE OF GOD’S HOUSE AND USED THAT TO NEGOTIATE WITH GOD AS HE PRAYED FOR HIS PERSONAL NEEDS
NEHEMIAH 13:14,22:
and I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to hallow the Sabbath day. remember this also for me, my god, and spare me according to thy great loving-kindness!· VERSE 22 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds which I have done for the house of my God, and for the charges thereof!
JUST LIKE NEHEMIAH, EVERYONE OF US SHOULD BE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE LORD IN TIMES OF OUR NEED,USING OUR COMMITMENT TO HIM AS AN ADVANTAGE
JESUS HAS PRAYED THAT THE CHURCH BE DELIVERED FROM THE EVIL IN THIS WORLD
WE ALL NEED DELIVERANCE FROM THE SPIRIT OF COLDNESS, WORLDLINESS AND LUKEWARMNESS THAT HAS CREPT INTO THE CHURCH THROUGH THE WORLD.
REV. 3:14-22.
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
WE ALL NEED DELIVERANCE BECAUSE ,BECAUSE WE REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND COMMITMENT TO GOD AND HIS HOUSE
WE ALL NEED DELIVERANCE BECAUSE WE REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS OF NEGLECTING THE HOUSE OF GOD
WE ALL NEED DELIVERANCE BECAUSE, WE DON’T UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS OF DISTANCING OURSELVES FROM GOD’S HOUSE AND NOT PERFORMING OUR DUTIES IN HIS HOUSE
WE ALL NEED DELIVERANCE BECAUSE WE REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF-SACRIFICE AS WE FELLOWSHIP WITH THE LORD
WE NEED DELIVERANCE; BECAUSE WE DON’T UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR HOLINESS AND GOD’S CONSTANT PRESENCE IN OUR LIVES.
WE NEED FIRE, HOLY GHOST FIRE IF GOD’S KINGDOM MUST BE EXERIENCED BY US AND OTHERS AROUND US IN THIS WORLD.
AND THIS REVIVAL FIRE CAN ONLY REALLY IMPART US AS WE LEARN TO COME TOGETHER IN GOD’S HOUSE
1 JOHN :3-7This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
WE ALL ALWAYS NEED CONSTANT CLEANSING AND DELIVERANCE,AND THIS IS WHY GOD ALWAYS SENDS HIS ANGELS TO WAIT FOR US IN HIS HOUSE
BUT ALAS WE ARE NOT REGULAR ENOUGH IN HIS HOUSE TO BENEFIT FROM THAT PROVISION
LUKE 14:16-35
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. 20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
ALL THESE EXCUSES ARE GOOD AND NORMAL IN OUR EYES AND ACCORDING TO THE STANDARD OF THE WORLD
MARRIAGE,WORK,PROPERTY ETC ARE ALL FINE EXCUSES FOR MISSING FELLOWSHIP
BUT I HOPE WE KNOW THAT GOD IS NOT INTERESTED IN ALL OUR EXCUSES
ACCORDING TO THE ABOVE PARABLES,HE WAS SO ANGRY ABOUT THOSE EXCUSES THAT HE COMMANDED ALL THE INVITED GUESTS TO BE REPLACED AT ONCE
IF ELIJAH COULD BE REPLACED BECAUSE HE WAS BATTLE WEARY AND FULL OF EXCUSES
IF JUDAS WHO WAS A CHOSEN APOSTLE COULD BE REPLACED BECAUSE HE BETRAYED THE LORD, THEN ANYONE OF US COULD EASILY BE REPLACED BY OTHERS TO SERVE IN GOD’S HOUSE
WE ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH AND WE ARE THE LIGHT IN THIS DARK WORLD
MAKE SURE YOU DON’T LOSE YOUR SALTNESS ,MAKE SURE THAT YOUR LIGHT DOES NOT BECOME DARKNESS AND FORCE THE LORD TO REPLACE YOU
CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE , CONSIDER YOUR WAYS SAYS THE LORD HAGGAI 1: 1-5 “In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying, 2: Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD’s house should be built. 3: Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, 4: Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste? 5: Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. 6.Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. 7: Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. 8: Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD. 9: Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. 10: Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. 11: And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands. 12: Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD. 13: Then spake Haggai the LORD’s messenger in the LORD’s message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD. 14: And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God, 15: In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
THE PEOPLE YIELDED TO THE CORRECTIONS OF THE LORD AND HE IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO BLESS THEM
HE SPOKE TO THE FIRST DAY OF THE SIXTH MONTH AND THE 21ST DAY OF THE 7TH MONTH HE WAS ALREADY BLESSING THEM BECAUSE THEY CHANGED THEIR WAYS IMMEDIATELY
HAGGAI 2: 1-9 “In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying, 2: Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying, 3: Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? 4: Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts: 5: According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not. 6: For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 7: And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. 8: The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. 9: The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO RECEIVE GOD’S WARNINGS AND CORRECTIONS AND CHANGE YOUR WAYS?
IF YOU TRULY WANT TO BE A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST YOU MUST FORGET ABOUT YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND PICK UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM
DISCIPLESHIP WILL COST YOU SOMETHING AND YOU MUST BE WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE
LUKE 14:25-35
25 ¶ And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, 26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. 34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? 35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

JOB 5 :19-27
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
